There are no real details as of yet, but TMZ.com is reporting that Gale Harold (Queer as Folk, Desperate Housewives) was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident yesterday in Los Angeles. It's been reported that he is at L.A. County - USC Medical Center in the Intensive Care Unit.

Harold's role as Brian Kinney on Queer as Folk was voted the number one gay character on television by the readers of AfterElton.com. We'll keep you posted as more details become available.

It's been a sweet couple of months for Academy Award-winning producer Bruce Cohen. Back in June he married his longtime boyfriend Gabriel Catone (with none other then the mayor of L.A. officiating), and he also put the finishing touches on one of the hottest prospects of the upcoming winter movie schedule, Milk.

And later this month, Cohen will be honored at Outfest's 2008 Legacy Awards:

"As a producer, philanthropist and activist, Bruce Cohen has been one of the singular most influential supporters of Outfest and LGBT filmmakers," said executive director Kirsten Schaeffer.

In addition to sure-to-be-award-friendly Milk, Bruce took the home the Oscar for producing American Beauty, and has been behind such gay-themed projects as To Wong Foo and The Nines (which was written and directed by gay filmmaker John August ... and starred the hunktastic Ryan Reynolds), and gay faves like Pushing Daisies.

And to top it off, his award will be presented to him by Ewan McGregor, who starred in another of his films, Big Fish (which was also written by August).

An Oscar, a cute husband, working with the likes of Ewan and Ryan, and now he's being honored with this award? It's a good thing I'm not a jealous person, or I'd also point out that he produced The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas ... but I'm not, so I won't.

Earlier this year, we told you about former Baywatch star Jaason Simmons and his decision to come out publicly.

Well, he's now given an interview with Australian gay newspaper SX, in which discusses the ramifications of that decision, and what it's meant to his career:

“It’s like a dichotomy,” says Simmons. “On one hand, people think being openly gay hurts your career. Why else are there so few openly-gay actors? But on the other hand it makes you stand out … The reaction has been so positive, so beautiful, that I’m really glad it’s out in the open.”

He talks about the support he received from everyone at Baywatch (who knew he was gay), especially from David Hasselhoff:

“He was really great about it,” Simmons recalls. “He was a huge supporter of mine back in the day, and we still keep in touch."

He also discusses his desire to marry his boyfriend , actor John O'Callaghan, and laments the fact that his native country won't accept his relationship legally.

“I’m really disappointed in Australia over that. I love Australia, I’ll always be Australian, but I don’t want to live in a place where I’m considered a second-class citizen, where my relationship and family aren’t recognised."

As for now, Jaason's priorities are mainly with raising his son Odin, (who John adopted in 2006), and working on green issues, but hopefully we'll see him and those Meg Foster-ish eyes back on tv soon.
